The Charles Daly 601 Field 12/28" 3" True Timber semi-automatic shotgun delivers reliable performance for hunters and sport shooters who demand versatility and proven reliability in the field. Built with a checkered wood stock and forend, this 12-gauge features interchangeable Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke tubes (IC, M, F) that enable rapid pattern adjustment without field-stripping. Weighing 8.94 lbs with a 28-inch barrel, the Model 601 balances pointability in brush and timber with sufficient barrel length for optimal shot patterns at extended ranges.
The 3-inch chamber accommodates both standard 2¾-inch and full 3-inch magnum loads, providing flexibility for waterfowl, upland game, and clay shooting without magazine limitations. The semi-automatic action cycles reliably across a broad spectrum of ammunition types, reducing shooter fatigue during extended range sessions or hunt days. With a 4+1 round capacity, the 601 Field offers practical firepower for multiple target engagements while maintaining fast target reacquisition between shots. The Mobil choke system—identical threading to industry-standard Benelli and Beretta platforms—means aftermarket choke options are readily available and affordable, extending the shotgun's versatility across disciplines.
Designed for hunters pursuing waterfowl, upland birds, and predators, as well as sport shooters who compete in 3-gun, IPSC, or clay competitions, the Charles Daly 601 delivers the ergonomics and reliability that field conditions demand. The wood furniture provides traditional aesthetics while offering excellent grip texture in wet conditions. This shotgun serves as a practical entry point into semi-automatic shotgun ownership without premium pricing, making it ideal for those transitioning from pump-action platforms or evaluating shotgun types before investing in higher-end systems.
The Charles Daly 601 Field occupies a well-established market position as an affordable, dependable semi-auto 12-gauge. Its Mobil choke compatibility ensures long-term parts availability and upgrade paths, while the traditional wood stock appeals to hunters who prioritize function over tactical modularity. For those seeking a working shotgun rather than a customization platform, the 601 Field delivers proven semi-automatic operation at a price point that makes sense for occasional and serious shooters alike.
